10. REFRIGERANT REPLENISHMENT
For refrigerant filling contractor
Only use refrigerant R410A.
The R410A refrigerant cylinder is painted with a pink belt.
WARNING
• Use protective gear (e.g., protective gloves and glasses) at the
time of refrigerant filling.
• Pay attention to the rotation of the fan whenever the front panel is
opened while working.
The fan can rotate continuously for a while after the outdoor unit
stops operating.

CAUTION
• The total maximum refrigerant charge of a Multi-ZEAS system
must be less than 100 kg, this to be in accordance with CE
requirements (EN603350-2-40 standard). This means that in case
the calculated total refrigerant charge is equal to or more than
95 kg you must divide your multiple outdoor system into smaller
independent systems, each containing less than 95 kg refrigerant
charge.
• Refer to the
"Operation Method of Shutoff Valves" on page 9
control method of the shutoff valves.
• Never replenish liquid refrigerant directly from a gas line. Liquid
compression and overheating may cause the compressor to fail.

Refrigerant insufficiency
1. The refrigerant must be noted for this product. Calculate the amount
of refrigerant replenishment according to the label for the calcula-
tion of the amount of refrigerant replenishment.
2. Take the following procedure for refrigerant replenishment.
Refer to
"8-1 Airtight test/refrigerant oil charging/vacuum drying"
on page 16
3. Turn on the indoor unit and control panel.
Do not turn on the outdoor unit.
4. Replenish refrigerant from the service port of the shutoff valve on
the liquid side.
5. If the refrigerant is charged while the compressor is running, set
the target evaporating temperature to ≥–25°C. Make sure the
master unit is properly designated. Refer to
SETTINGS" on page
6. If the calculated amount of refrigerant cannot be filled, take the
following steps to operate the system and continue refrigerant
replenishment.
a. Open the gas shutoff valve all the way and adjust the opening of
the liquid shutoff valve (*1).

Fully open the shutoff valves on the gas and liquid sides
promptly. Otherwise, a piping explosion may result from liquid

*1The cylinder's internal pressure will drop when there is little
refrigerant remaining in the cylinder, making it impossible to charge
the unit, even if the liquid shutoff valve opening is adjusted. In this
situation, replace the cylinder with one that has more refrigerant
remaining.
Additionally, if the piping length is long, replenishing while the liquid
shutoff valve is fully closed may lead to activation of the protection
system, causing the unit to stop operation.
7. After the work is completed, apply a screw lock agent (for flare
nuts) to the screws of the shutoff valves and service ports. Refer to
the
"Handling precautions for valve cover" on page 10
"Handling Precautions for Service Port" on page 10
for the
4 Connecting the refrigerant piping" on page 8
the valve covers and service ports.
8. After the refrigerant replenishment is completed, fill out the item
"total amount of refrigerant replenishment" on the label of
instructions on refrigerant replenishment of the outdoor unit with
the actual amount of refrigerant replenishment.
Refer to the illustration of the label pasting position for instructions
on refrigerant replenishment (see the illustration on the above).
